Take our word for it

Craig McKerracher, Partner

I chose to pursue a career at Harper Macleod whilst at the University of Glasgow. At the time, Lorne Crerar and Robert Rennie were Professors of Banking and Conveyancing respectively and both of them taught me, so that gave me an insight into the quality of the team at Harper Macleod.

I chose Harper Macleod for a number of reasons. I wanted to work in a firm that had a clear vision for its future. I am the type of person who knows the path that I want to take and I wanted to be part of an organisation where I could realise those career aspirations. Harper Macleod stood out as an energetic and successful firm. It was clear that it operated as a business, not just a law firm.

As a school leaver, I had not completely decided on the career path I wanted to follow. A friend was already working at Harper Macleod and suggested that I apply for the position of office junior. I submitted an application, and thereafter invited to interview and was offered the position. Although I was starting on the bottom rung of the ladder, I was encouraged by the company’s ethos of growing and training its staff to the best of their potential. After almost 21 years, I am now a fully qualified Conveyancing Paralegal thanks to the belief and support from my employer.
